It's been a while since we've heard any news concerning Dragon Age. With two full games, an expansion, and plenty of DLC, this is a series that's grounded fairly well on its own so far. But with a third title in the works, what does it, and the series, need to be at the forefront of gamers' minds?
Dragon Age 2 set the precedent that the series would always carry our choices over, but was it worth it?
If the choices won't matter, why bother? Bioware works so hard at giving meaningful choices but rarely if ever carrying out the impact of such choices to the end.
EA turned down BioWare's pitch to work on a remake of Dragon Age Origins or a remastered Dragon Age Trilogy, according to a new report.
Thats a pity. A remaster Trilogy would sell a lot better than the game they released last year.
Speak for yourself... Some of us are tired of remastered/remakes. Maybe this industry could show a little originality or progress a thought forward. Pass on dragon age remastered. Make a competent dragon age game or fold up shop.
Exactly, while I love the orginal game (origins) they would have censured the hell out of it and replaced it with wokeness.
I would have rather seen a remake of Origins which added onto it with more content than Dragon Age 4
If successful they could have continued on from it ignoring the other DA games.
Lore dump in Veilguard was very good and I enjoyed the game for that.
I would not at all be opposed to more of a 'remake' of the first game, though. Not sure a 'remaster' with better graphics and whatnot would really pull me in if it didn't include more updated controls and gameplay.
Yeah, your right about the lore, and thats the reason I like dragon age in the first place. I think thats why theres such a divide with veilguard. Those that fell in love with dragon age for the rpg mechanics were gravely disappointed.
Honestly I tried getting into dragon age 4 but just couldn’t man and it wasn’t that political BS, annoying yes, but not game killing. It just wasn’t it for me.
I would rather they just remake the original and stay true to the original
It's not a good game. But if a few trans and gay people upset you, then you have some issues with stuff beyond politics.
Didn’t care for it.
Annoying yes, because it’s dragon age.
That whole trans and binary just didnt fit in and felt force.
But like I said it wasn’t game killing. I just found it boring.
Ill always have the argument you only see it if you go looking for it. Im not gay or trans, it was a 2 minute scene you can literally skip and then you dont see any more of it in the game. Didn't bother me at all.
@andy
It really wasn’t 2 min and it was pretty much one characters identity lol.
Like I said it wasn’t game killing.
But to pretend it wasn’t stupid the way they went about it.
Sounded like something from our world would say.
Like wtf, i want fantasy to run away from our world.
I think it’s dumb asf to use real world terminology for real world problems in a game that isn’t set in ours world/altworld
Understandable, it is a very different game in many ways.
@anast
I think it was a good game. Who is actually right here?
It's not a good game. People people liking something is not always a good metric. People like sh%& games, I even like a few sh&% games myself.
Thats the understanding people lack.
People set standards of what is “good”. Interestingly, it is a strange form of confirmation bias, in which people look for evidence to support what they deem “good or bad” about a title. That is why we have so many people that say that starfield does nothing new…when that is literally what it does..something new…for Bethesda at least.
I have had people call me trash before, moments before I obliterate them in whatever it is we are playing. Broaden your awareness, and you will know of what I speak.
I've played the exact same Warden in Dragon Age: Origins for years. In 2025, I will finally make a different one. Maybe.
Tried it before, doesn't work. I tried to to play a Dalish archer but ended up being a Dwarf Noble warrior again, must be a bug
My preferred origin is Dalish Elf Archer that recruits the Templars, Baelen's Dwarves with Golems and Dalish Elves. Took me 3 playthroughs to lock down a "true" file for me. What a game.
A complete overhaul!
Update the graphics (sure not The Witcher 2 level but dam it, get closer)!
Update the gameplay (maybe take a long look at Skyrim and The Witcher 2 and just copy everything you see)! It's only a win win situation right there!
Update the Dev team (if anyone has worked on Mass Effect then they are no longer allowed to work on Dragon Age) the series has been called "Mass Dragon Age Effect" for a NOT SO GOOD reason!
Take your time! (pumping out a Dragon Age 3 quicker than a pregnant lady pushing out her 9th kid is not good)! Actually just save Dragon Age 3 for next Gen therefore you can take the series to a whole new level and direction!
More importance on the RPG aspect (sure the convo tree thing is great along with good voice acting but I want my characters abilities to really matter and not just my choices in a dialogue tree)!
Open World ( RPG's should never be linear and they should ALWAYS encourage exploration)
a new dev working on it
A sincere hardcore old-school RPG that has multiple areas to explore. PERIOD. Ultimately it doesn't rely on anything else. The graphics could look only slightly better than Origins and the REAL Bioware fans would eat it up. By REAL Bioware, I mean non influence by EA in their game. RPG's don't have to be filled to the brim with action in order to recieve critical acclaim. In fact, most of the greatest RPG's by GAMERS' standards had some pretty slow sections of the game.
A nice start would be a story that I give a shit about finishing.
One minor thing I missed from Dragon Age 1, when your characters had special effects on them (think auras), it should be present in cutscenes/character interactions.
I thought it was pretty cool... not sure about the rest of you.
